EXCURSION TO

LORCA

Lorca's city centre was declared to be a
historic and artistic ensemble in 1964.
The city is known as 'the baroque city'
due to the important baroque heritage
of its historic district, which is among
the best known within the region, and
to the historic events which have defined
the city of Lorca as it is nowadays.

Plenty of cultures have converged in
Lorca from the paleolithic to the
Roman times. The city has numerous
archaeological sites, churches and
convents of different periods and styles,
and also baroque palaces and manor
houses such as the Guevara Palace and
the house of the Mula family.
In addition, the city has been
shortlisted within the European
Commission's EDEN programme
(European Destinations of Excellence)
for its sustainable tourism and cultural
recovery proposal.
